papers never speak of except as the
famous seal-browns," being driven by
Albert Hawkins, the permanent presi-
den tial oooohnaar. But during the Phil
adelphia celebration in September Mrs.
Cleveland drove a fourth hand, and evil
IDENTITY drove SO well that the president is
willing to trust himself to her skill in
handling the ribbons.
